Dahua PFT1300 PoE Extender – IEEE 802.3af/at Compliant, 3-Port Passive PoE Repeater with 300m Transmission Range

The Dahua PFT1300 PoE Extender is a compact, high-performance Power over Ethernet repeater designed to extend both data and power for IP cameras across long distances. Supporting IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, the PFT1300 enables passive PoE cascading up to two levels, allowing the connection of up to three IP cameras over 300 meters total transmission range when used with a compatible High PoE Midspan (PFT1200). With three RJ45 ports for input, output to camera, and output to another extender, this unit provides efficient, reliable, and scalable network expansion without additional power supplies. Its versatile mounting options (DIN rail or internal junction box) make it an ideal choice for professional surveillance system installations.
